The former private detective, Dashiel Hammet,who created Sam Spade – here Sam Shovel – for The Maltese Falcon, wrote: For your private detective does not — or did not ten years ago when he was my colleague — want to be an erudite solver of riddles in the Sherlock Holmes manner; he wants to be a hard and shifty fellow, able to take care of himself in any situation, able to get the best of anybody he comes in contact with, whether criminal, innocent by-stander or client.
